Those are some nice looking pens! What types of woods are they made of?

Hi. The first pic, Cigar pen is Red Malley Burl with a nice swirl of sapwood running through the cap end, the Streamline pen below it is Bocote. The 2nd pic, pen is Brown Mally Burl. The 3rd pic, is quite a rare peice of Grey Mangrove (protected species). Cheers.

I like the grey mangrove one the best, I have never heard of that wood before, but sure does look nice!!

Thanks guys for the feed back. Here are a couple more pic's of the Grey Mangrove pen. I only got enough to make two pens, so this one is a keeper.
